Description
The Jolene top can be worn in 2 ways: as a wrap top or tied in the front. The flared sleeves create give it an iconic 70s look. It’s a flattering piece to wear to garden parties, summer festivals, or (iced) coffee dates. It also looks great as an extra layer over a summer dress – perfect for chilly summer evenings!
SIZE: made to measure, so the top can be made to fit any body! You can also adjust the length of the top.
SKILL LEVEL: advanced beginner (you just need to know the basics). This pattern includes written instructions, photos of every step, and diagrams, so it’s very easy to follow!
LANGUAGE: English (I use US terminology).
YARN: you’ll need weight 3 yarn (Light/DK/Light worsted). I used 11 balls of Drops Belle (1 ball = 50 g/12o m/131 yds) and I usually wear size M.
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS: you can adjust the length of the top and the sleeves – it’s also possible to make a short sleeved version.
Enjoy crocheting!

Beautiful pattern. I did not use your yarn recommendation – so I needed to be more careful on how to make it fit my body.:) Learned a lot while doing it!

Made this in a wool yarn, a bit bulkier than the recommended yarn for winter and it still is lovely. The body was a bit stiff given the stitch but after a good blocking and conditioning it was perfect. Learned some new techniques and this pattern was so easy to follow. Love the diagrams and that there’s plenty of photos

I’m still not done with the full top, I’m still in the backpiece but I have tried other similar patterns before and I’m in love with this Jolene top! Mostly I like that it uses simple stitches, to make something beautiful, and the fit is easy, based on my measurements.

One of my favorite pieces ♡ I don’t think I’ve ever finished a project so quickly – the pattern quality is amazing, and I appreciated the notes for lefties like me. Definitely not my last pattern bought from this shop!!
